But Courtney Nguyen (f/k/a
FortyDeuce) of SI's Beyond the Baseline puts it best in today's
recap of the first day of the 2012 Australian Open:
Whoever designed
Verdasco's kit at Adidas should be fired. He looks like he works the counter at McDonald’s and a drunk highlighter threw up on him.
It's like Adidas is *trying* to make all the good looking guys they've sponsored look bad. Can they possibly be selling this mess to tennis enthusiasts? I find it hard to believe. (Of course, I couldn't believe anyone would buy those weird waffley brown patterned shorts that Nadal wore at Miami a couple of years ago, but a Nike rep assured me that they sold out...not to the anticipated tennis crowd but to teens who liked them as board shorts. I guess it doesn't matter who's buying as long as it is someone.)
